TSN Insider Darren Dreger recently joined SportsCenter on ESPN to talk about the Stars trading for Tyler Seguin. Here are some highlights:

On why the Boston Bruins decided to part ways with Tyler Seguin:

“This is a difficult one. It comes down to finances. When you look at the cap space the Boston Bruins have, the cap space they need, they’re looking at options. Rich Peverley was most definitely on the block prior to this. There was a lot of speculation that Tyler Seguin might be in the mix as well. Boston needs to add some pieces so this was a very difficult transaction and move to make considering Seguin is 21 years old and has all kinds of upside. He is, when you look at the age of the player, no player at the same age as Tyler Seguin has played more games at the NHL level so this is about dollars and cents.”

On who got the better end of the deal- the Dallas Stars or Boston Bruins:

“Well, that’s a good question. I think this is a deal that fits both, but when you’re moving out a 21-year-old player in Tyler Seguin, who has so much upside given the experience at such a young age playing for the Boston Bruins. If I was going to give the edge, again all the prospects that the Bruins acquire in making the deal, I still look at Tyler Seguin being the best player in the deal so in that regard I give the edge to Dallas.”
